This is mere sophistry. When you have learned to read the Hellenic classics in the original Greek then you may speak of objective truth, logic and reason. ...tripe filtered through an atheistic Protagorian.

HA-HAA! That's it? That's all? Of course, I didn't expect anything more. Rings exactly like a religious fundamentalism.

Name one altruistic person. There isn't a single person alive who is altruistic.

Dear brutus149: You are correct. And isn't it interesting to note that her anger was an EMOTIONAL response. Plus her child-like clinging to her father past---which is a bad thing according to kaiwag.

Dearest kaiwaig: NO, it isn't pure altruism. Name one socialist that denies that the individual isn't important---you can't. However, Randoids, state with pride that they have no emotion and only the individual is important. No "individual" can even survive in a social vacuum, let alone learn. You can state with an authoritive tone anything you want, but you'll find no empirical natural or scientific evidence to back up your wild glassy eyed religious claims.

Rand was just pissed off the communist stole her dad's store when she was a little kid...

Yes it is altruism; the belief that one does it for the good of others and each other because of an unselfish and unwavering desire to help for the sake of helping. Its a simple fact that for an individual, their first priority is to themselves, then to his family, his extended family then everything afterwards. Socialism denies nature in favour of this pathetic child like attachment to an ideal which isn't realistic.

Socialism is NOT total altruism. The only condition that acts like that is biological, and there ain't no arguments that can even attempt wriggle out of that. On the other hand, Randoids reject emotion overtly---with pride---like idiots! Randoids are more into egoism---like the individual is somethin' holy---separate from nature. Bull-wizz! That's why Randoids makes me just as sick religious fundamentalists.
